• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Why i decided to go back to Husky RR.

On the odd week end here in SA--When i am not taking a group out on Tour i often arrange a get together with some newbie and Old friends on our Dual Sport bike for a casual ride to introduce the new riders to gravel roads. We allways have a heap of fun. I beleive one should just throw in a odd curve ball with a ride like this to get the new riders heart rate up--just a tiny bit to make the day worthwhile.
This Sunday was no exception. After we gathered at the meeting point and i laid down a few simple rules as to what to and not what to do we left on a 180km short trip.
Some of the Group and the first picture of a Husky from the Swedish Army-Automatic as well :thumbsup:

All in all i had 34 riders and one pillion--was a looooooooong day.

Hope you enjoy.
 
Couldn't you have thrown in an odd lion and elephant to get the heart rate up. I know the Boks arn't doing it for you at the moment. Nice bit of torment though.
 
Looks like a great day was has by (almost) all. :thumbsup:

South Africa is a long way from here but we do occasionally get mud too. :)

Seventy two and still going strong-thats what i love to see.

The rider was 72 years old? Or the bike was from 1972?
 
That XL 500 is sweet for it's age. If it was a US model I would say it was a 79 (1st yr) or 80, as the 81 had an aluminum swing arm. It's XR brother would wheelie up in 5th no clutch, a hop and a tug and a twist, and ride it untill you ran out of road. Nice RR. :thumbsup:

Let me not even talk about the Boks----Maybe we should fire the coach :lol: that seems to be the norm here in SA, when any team does bad--fire the coach.
